Jackson Youth Hockey is proud to announce that we have a skating instructor named Kyle Peto coming to Jackson the week of Monday, January 22nd to run clinics with our kids. Kyle will be incorporating innovative and cutting edge skating drills that will primarily be focusing on power skating, agility, transitions, explosiveness and edge work. He will be running clinics starting Monday (1/22) and will work with all teams 8U and older. We encourage all coaches to be present if possible. It will be a great learning experience and I know Kyle will appreciate the extra help setting up drills and managing kids in line.
